With this json file:

{ "person": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "Antonio Paz"
    }, {
      "id": 2,
      "name": "Lilliana Angelovska"
    } 
  ],
  "shirt": [
    {
        "id": 1,
        "style": "polo",
        "color": "blue",
        "owner": 1
    }, {
        "id": 2,
        "style": "dress",
        "color": "white",
        "owner": 1
    }, {
        "id": 3,
        "style": "t-shirt",
        "color": "blue",
        "owner": 1
    }, {
        "id": 4,
        "style": "dress",
        "color": "orange",
        "owner": 2
    }, {
        "id": 5,
        "style": "polo",
        "color": "red",
        "owner": 2
    }, {
        "id": 6,
        "style": "dress",
        "color": "blue",
        "owner": 2
    }, {
        "id": 7,
        "style": "t-shirt",
        "color": "white",
        "owner": 2
    }
  ]
}

Indexing one "column":

	$.getJSON("store.json", function(json) {

	    var store2_2 = new JSONIndex( json, [

	       { index: "$..name" }

	    ] );

	});

Result:

[["Antonio Paz","Lilliana Angelovska"]]

Index with Left Join

	$.getJSON("store.json", function(json) {

	    var store2_2 = new JSONIndex( json, [

	       { left_join: "$.shirt[?(@.owner=={{$.person..id}})].[style, color]" }

	    ] );

	});

Result:

[[["polo","dress","t-shirt"],["dress","polo","dress","t-shirt"]]]

Indexing multiple columns

	$.getJSON("store.json", function(json) {

	    var store2_2 = new JSONIndex( json, [

	       { multiple: ["$.shirt[*].style", "$.shirt[*].color"] }

	    ] );

	});

Result:

[[[["polo"],["blue"]],[["dress"],["white"]],[["t-shirt"],["blue"]],[["dress"],["orange"]],[["polo"],["red"]],[["dress"],["blue"]],[["t-shirt"],["white"]]]]
